what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
to recognize the want Of tonic and
blood-purifor? Formerly, a course of
bittcrs, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule In woll-rcgulatcd families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan s. Cleveland, 81 T.. Canton ST.,

years old, was in perfect health until a
year ago when she began to complain OF
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
indigestion, and loss of appetite. con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her TO take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood.making organs to
healthy action, and in due time retstab-

Story of Pioneer Days.

San Francisco Correspondence New
York World: In the superior court at
Oakland yesterday, during the trial of
the suit of Nicholas Beerval. who re-
turns from South America after twenty
years absence to recover u portion OF
the Livermore valley, which has passed
into the hands Of his stepmother. wit
ness-James f. Costillo-.dropped the
thread of an interesting tale.
He testified that chest of gold was
buried on the ranch of DR.. John Marsh
in 1854 by the doctor and Mexican
servant. DR.. Marsh was the father
of Mrs. w. w. Cameron, of Oak
land. He was murdered in 1859
by robbers, who waylaid him. Accord
ing to the testimony given by Mr.. Cos
clio, the chest containing the treasure
was buried about one hundred yards
from the site of an old adobe dwelling
house.
Mr.. Costello subsequently said to the
World correspondent that the exact To-
cation of treasure was known to himself
alone. He said that in the early days
DR.. Marsh was troubled by robbers. One
night they came to his house and
took $500 from him. They saw an old
iron chest in n corner of the room, but
on opening it only nails were exposed to
NlC"' OiiCy oSIopSu cio ht'iio
they would have found gold. How
ever DR.. Marsh was taught n lesson, and
the next day, exacting a vow of secrecy
from his servant, they buried the chest
Two years afterwards DR.. Maran was
murdered and in 1850 the servant also
died, contding his secret to Mr.. Cos
tillo. THOMAS Avery later came into
possession of DR.. Marsh's property after
the latter's death, but would never per-
nit CASTILLO to search for the hidden
treasure.
w. w. Cameron, q son-in-law of the
late DR.. Marsh, while not placing credit
in Castello's ability to find the treasure,
says there is no doubt that 100000 or
| $50, 900 is buried somewhere on the
ranch. DR.. Marsh, he says, located on
the ranch in 1887, and was robbed in all
eleven times, which experience induced
him to bury his money.

Adam Sncder and Israel Mendleson for

goods had been returned, although they ad
mitted having endcavored to peddle them fo
five months, The justice couldn't see hov
any salesman could carry goods for tina

Jail. From this place she was released few
days later, the sheriff becoming convinced
that the charge was wrong one dictated by
malice, and that her arrest and imprisonment
was brought about by the cupidity of her
relatives, who sought to gain possession Of the
property owned by her. The
specific act mentioned by her
accusers, which tended to show
that she was OF unsound mind, was that she
threw stones at boys, and afterwards the ad-
ditional charge was made that she violently
assaulted the officer sent to arrest her. This
was absolutely true, but on investigation IL
was shown that the hoodlums living in the
neighborhood had for long time been in the
habit of prosecuting the poor old lady after
her son had left for his work. They stoned
the house and assailed her with the vlest OF
language, so that at last she lost her temper.
and sought to f rid n,,nr her premises is;r
orous assault upon them. No one
was hurt, but the boys were thoroughly
frightened and ceased their prosecutions
That night deputy sheriff called to serve a
stranger to her Mrs. Werth resisted the
officer, and this was also referred to as an
evidence of her insanity.
II now seems that this arrest was part OF
a scheme to defraud the lady out Of her
home and that her own son is the instigator.
Fifth and Dorcas streets was purchased by
Mrs. Werth and her son, Fred w. A. Werth
| that Mrs. Werth paid 300 down on the place,
through her son, supposing that he also paid
| u like amount and that the deed
was made out in their Joint names.
1t was, however, made out to Fred Werth
and u few days ago he sold the property to
| Frank Dworak. The new owner has given
| Mrs. Werth notice to vacate and the poor
| lady does not know what to do, as she Is
| liable to be set into the street any day. She
| applied to the sheriff yesterday and to him
poured out the tale Of woe, but as she had
| trusted in her son to have the deed made
out properly and he had deceived her there is
little chance of her being able to recover
anything. Mrs. Werth claims that her sor
| has treated her shamcfully in this matter ant
| she fears that she will be sent to the poor
| farm.

At Z o'clock the three members of the

A Terrible MunitiOn of War.

Foreign Letter: ''LectOver" is the
name of new and murdcrous munition
of war in Russia. 1t was discovered by
IL Russian engineer, and is as
strong rs pyroyline and ten times
cheaper than saltpeter powder. It pos
sesses great superiority over all ex-
plosives of the dynamite class by the
fact that when fired its force does not
strike downward, but entirely forward.
1t can be used, it is said, for all purposes
to which ordinary gunpowder is now APP
piled without any damage to the weapon
discharged. The minister of war is
having "a special factory built for its
manufacture. The composition is a
secret.
